Fabric Used: Georgette

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: NoneWould you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I love this dress. I recommend it if this style is something that you like. Conclusion: This was really a simple dress. It took me longer than expected because of my fabric choice. Since I used a sheer fabric for the dress and the lining, I had to make sure all my seams were nice and neat. It's all finished with french seams on the inside, which took a LONG time, but it was well worth it. I read reviews about it not "blousing" out the way it does on the pattern envelope but I liked that just fine. I wore a wider belt and it gave me more of the effect I was looking for. Overall great dress.
